Remembering things is quicker than learning things from scratch, but I still hate uv mapping.
I'm also so very tired and so very glad that I made a very early decision to never pitch this thing given the amount of hate 3d gets. If I'd been doing it for anyone other than myself I would have probably given up long ago.
I read/hear "the computer is doing it all for you" in relation to digital art anywhere in my vicinity and take it personally
The uvs are now nicely laid out (manually because I didn't buy the version of the thing that would automate it, not hard, just tedious) and I have a horn crest and gem which is hopefully enough to shape into whatever it needs to be.
I tried to be smart and use splines and experimented with geonodes for making the horns but I'm not smart enough for that so they'll be getting modelled normally. I think I need to pull out the beginnings of the horns where they're connected to the crest as they're an awkward shape that should be close enough to the same for all characters and then just leave the "buds" there to expediate horns per character when I get around to it.
The female Dragonkin should be pretty quick and then I'll be back to making stuff and backporting.
It's school holidays so I'm not working and can hopefully fill up the nights with extra project work.
This post also appears on my blog.
Want a cameo character? If you interact frequently with me here (either on my posts or your posts or better yet both!) or on one of the linked Discord channels, all you have to do is let me know and tell me what you'd like :) Everything you need to know is (probably) here and if it isn't just ask (sorry the link goes offsite to my blog where the layout is how I want rather than the one here which is only here because the original one was).
Thanks for looking! ^_^
People will never get digital. The automatic assumption that everything is easy can only come from those without a creative bone in their body!
XD
I'm sure there's creative bone somewhere but I very definitely have come across several cases of the people insisting that something "should only take a few minutes" have never actually done the thing that they think should only take a few minutes XD
Most certainly so! I used to have people ask how long my animations took and when I told them it was mammy days of effort they were surprised. To the point where some of them tried to do similar. It was hilarious to see their output 😀
At least they had a go and if they had no idea before they do now!
Yeah, a lesson learned!! 😀
I have known you for a while and have read enough of your creative process/progress posts to know that when it comes to your art, this surely isn't the case.
You are not doing it the lazy way at all.
Sending a hug!
Aww thanks ^_^ [hugs]
Most of the time the commentary isn't even directed anywhere near me, hell most of the time it's just badly stated aesthetic preferences, I've just started caring enough again to feel slighted again and I don't know why.
I used to care when I was 20something and then I stopped
